GroundZero

Try? Sheeeeet... I did take his lil ass out! Chris

Of course, sitting on our side of the field costs nothing.... and if we accidently land in the festival all day... well maybe we just kinda "hopped the fence". They're expecting upto 10,000 people so it will be easier to access the DZ by coming in the Duetsch factory entrance off Cedar lane... (The road out toward Kroger shopping center.) Chris

Hi Everyone! We will have the Caravan for another weekend, come out and make a bunch of jumps! Captain Eric will be here at 8:00 am Saturday morning. I took the liberty to manifest the first loads... please be geared up and ready to go by the schedule below... Load 1... 8:05 am... Tim Allen Allecia Joe Bryan Deborah Gary Keisho Karen Mellisa Keith Penn Scott Terry Load 2... 8:28 am Craig Biscuit Shawn Kristi Bob Chris Jeff Dan Samantha Brian Mike Dave Tim Tiffonie Load 3... 8:51 am... Chuck Chuck Chuck John .... Wait a minute, I know that Chuck has to leave early so we'll move him to load 1... and Penn's always late so we'll move him to load 3... I think that the other Chuck has drill this weekend so scratch him and move Scott into his place on load 3 freeing up a slot for the other Chuck to move to load 1... wait, he called and wanted to get on the second load... Ok, if we move Keith to load 3 and put Keisho on load 1... no Keisho is already on load 1... Let's get Kristi to move to load 2, then I'll bump to load 3 and Craig and Bryan move to load 3... wait Bryan has to work Saturday and won't be here til late in the afternoon. So we'll keep load 1 as planned with the changes noted... wait that won't work either... Everyone help me out here... get to the dropzone by 8:oo am and we'll just manifest you as you arrive. Maybe that'll be easier. Thanks for your help everyone! Chris Tennessee Skydiving Center The weather is forcast to be beautiful and the fridge is stocked for a Saturday nite party! If anyone has any suggestions for the first 3 loads, let me know....

Absolutely georgeous view there... hey...come to think of it... I've only made Bird-Man jumps there... no RW or FF or anything else... It was so beautiful, I only wanted to fly Bird-Man... Chris but I guess that's what I do everywhere too...

I'll be ther fer sure... but i think it was you flying onto me Chris

I counted 17 girls on the manifest...including students... And it was a student that got the caravan to FL 180 today. Sweet day!

That looks like a fine fluckin' flock! I wanna play! Chris

2560... tandem... packing... (not mine...)

Ya know Eric's a sharp pilot... He seems to attract all the girls out... dz's been hoppin' since he arrived!

Get out early on Saturday... Caravan's on the ground at 8:00 am!

I'll be there in November on an island about 12 miles from San Pedro, sippin Belekins and rum... celebrating my anniversary. (It's where my wife and I were married, it will be my 2 year old daughter's first trip there.) If you go to the boogie... take some time to go to Caye Caulker. There things are cheap and the pace is very slow. It's about a 15 minute water taxi ride from Ambergrise Caye (where the boogie is...). You'll discover a cheap and easy place to return in the future. Chris

Quick-eject hardware is far more secure and durable than the conventional B-12 hardware that is on virtually all sport student gear. The B-12 gates quite often get bent and will stick in the open position. The MT-1 system has probably trained more "students" worldwide than any "sport" system available. And those "students" have probably seen speeds greater than sport freeflyers. I think it would make a very nice, very affordable system for the larger guys... until sport manufacturers develop a big boy student system. Chris (and yes... I too have fallen out of a B-12 legstrap.)

What?!?!? I don't think so.... (Sangiro, we need a separate "riggers Forum" where people don't guess about things like this. Many current canopies manufactured under that spec are built of 0-3 cfm and even zero p fabric... Chris (but I'm not a rigger, so I don't want to speculate...)

400 lb dacron... Chris Precision

Hi... If you have the original Safire... I can send you the manufacturing specs for the canopies as we built them. Chris do you have s/n for the canopy?

That's what I said for years... ...and just recently discovered something that excites and charges me even more than skydiving... And skydiving has obviously entertained me. Never say never. Chris

Paul, As a manufacturer, bombarded by requests for sponsorship... I completely disagree with your evaluation of the "sponsorship" thing. I love world champions touting our wares. I'm always thrilled by champions being photo'd in major magazines wearing our colors. But you know what I really want to see from our sponsored people? I want to see the enthuasiasm of someone like Jumpmonki... he's brand new to the sport and has the drive that I still have after almost 20 years... Too many jumpers lose that thrill in just a few years. Sponsorship is about a person that can sell the product. It is NOT about the person who carries a few merit badges and such. It is about sales.... I've never seen a used car salesman who could sell shitty cars and make money at the same time. If he sells great "pre-owned cars" he prospers. Don't quote numbers and records and such shit... show me how you can perform and that's who I want. I look forward to finding the most enthusiastic people in the sport... It is not about numbers, experience is good, but enthusiasm and production will win everytime. Email me if you have what I'm thinking about, I want winners, in life, not neccessarily comps. These are the people that BECOME world champions! Chris Precision.Aero chris@precisionNOSPAM.net 423-949-4688

What's a bump?

and I thought you were a homophobe, but the way you docked... Impressed me!!!

hehehehehe I'm glad you didn't weigh anymore ...you woulda hurt! (me!) 'Bout a month away, waiting til you're under me to get current again! Chris

Skydiver primarily, but recently got bitten (very hard) by the Base bug. PM or email me ...let's pursue the stuff locally! Chris chris@NOSPAMprecision.net

That's all I needed to hear... (I was going anyway...) If you haven't flown with this bird-boned human, you haven't flown yet! Be there! Chris

something about her knees at the end of the nite, er day?

sounds like an an-28 you're describing, but I have no idea about certification here. Chris
